SHUT OUT BY DULUTH.
The Wheat Traffic Diverted from Mime.

apolis aud Chicago.
MINNEAroLs, Mimi, Aug. lS.-There
is a fair prospect of bitter railroad war
between the roads centcring here. The
bone of contention Will be rate on wheat
shipped from Western Mime
sofa and Dakota points. Here
tolore there has been a differentiaI
of p cents on Minnesota and 3
cents on Dakota wheat in favor of
Minneapolis and against Duluth. This
ditterential the Manitoba Road. in its
new tariff about to be issued, has boldly
done away with, making the Duluth
and Minneapolis rates the same. The
Northern Pacific has agreed to follow
the ManltOba's lead, although the dis
tanCe over the line u Duluth is, as in
the case Of the Manitoba. longer
than to MINNEAPOLIS Gen. w ID.
Washburu, president of the Mime
apOIs N Pacific, road built to
protect Minneapolis interests in the
wheat country and the line which forced
tha granting of the Minneapolis differ
ential last year, is a leading miller here.
He saws the result of this policy, if ad-
hered to by all the roads would be that
not Il spoonful Of wheat would come
to Minneapolis and the millers might
as we'll shut up shop. He added that
the Minneapolis x Pacific would at once
reduce Its rates p cents on Mime
sofa and 3 cents on Dakota wheat, thus
in effect maintaining ditferential in favor
of this city and inaugurating a bitter
fight With competing lines. Aninterest-
ing feature of the situation is
found in the fact that the
Manitoba has several southwestern
extensions under construction to Aber-
deem, Watertown and other points
reached by the Milwaukee E It. PAU,
the Minneapolis u St. Louis and the
Westernroad and thus these lines
will also be drawn into the war. Ghe
Chicago roads are forced to bestir them
selves at once, or see all their wheat
traffic diverted to Duluth.
